On 26-28 February 2018, an international workshop was organized to foster the global cooperation of biodiversity research infrastructures and biodiversity scientists. The workshop was focused on species interactions and organized by the European-funded Horizon 2020 project GLOBIS-B, which is coordinated by W. Daniel Kissling from the UvA Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics.Tue, 13 Mar 2018 10:15:00 GMTIBEDhttp://ibed.uva.nl/content/news/2018/03/successful-international-workshop-on-species-interaction-ebvs.htmlEight researchers to conduct research at UvA with Marie Curie Fellowshiphttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/news/2018/03/eight-researchers-to-conduct-research-at-uva-with-marie-curie-fellowship.html
Eight talented researchers have been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to conduct research at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The awarded projects include research on border control within the EU, on suicide prediction and on increasing fire activity in the Amazon Basin.Tue, 06 Mar 2018 09:25:00 GMTUvA Persvoorlichtinghttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/news/2018/03/eight-researchers-to-conduct-research-at-uva-with-marie-curie-fellowship.htmlLessons from the past: new insights into nature managementhttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/press-releases/2018/03/lessons-from-the-past-new-insights-in-nature-management.html
Recent research in nature reserve Laarder Wasmeren, close to Hilversum, has led to new insights with regard to the use of large herbivores in nature management in the Netherlands. Physical geographers and paleoecologists of the UvA Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics have discovered that characteristic Dutch drift sand landscapes originated earlier than previously assumed, as far back as 10.000 years ago.These findings have resulted in an alternative hypothesis: that instead of large herbivores, forest fires are the main cause of open forests and drift sands.Fri, 02 Mar 2018 13:51:00 GMTBureau Communicatiehttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/press-releases/2018/03/lessons-from-the-past-new-insights-in-nature-management.htmlUvA alumni develop application for monitoring green spaces in urban areashttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/faculteiten/en/faculteit-der-natuurwetenschappen-wiskunde-en-informatica/news/2018/02/uva-alumni-develop-application-for-monitoring-green-spaces-in-urban-areas.html
Four UvA Earth Sciences alumni made it to the finals of DigitalGlobe's international GBDX for Sustainability Challenge. In the final round they are up against students from, among others, Oxford and Duke. For their application, the UvA students propose to use satellite images for the monitoring of green spaces in urban areas worldwide.Tue, 13 Feb 2018 10:27:00 GMTFaculteit Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Informaticahttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/faculteiten/en/faculteit-der-natuurwetenschappen-wiskunde-en-informatica/news/2018/02/uva-alumni-develop-application-for-monitoring-green-spaces-in-urban-areas.htmlStudy of behaviour muskrats, coypus and beavers kicks offhttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/faculteiten/en/faculteit-der-natuurwetenschappen-wiskunde-en-informatica/news/2018/01/new-study-muskrats-coypus-and-beavers.html
In a new study just launched by a number of Dutch district water boards and knowledge institutions, a team of scientists including statistical ecologist Emiel van Loon of the UvA Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics will be researching the behaviour of muskrats, coypus and beavers. The two-year project is titled 'Dyke Diggers in Focus'.Tue, 16 Jan 2018 10:45:00 GMTFaculteit Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Informaticahttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/faculteiten/en/faculteit-der-natuurwetenschappen-wiskunde-en-informatica/news/2018/01/new-study-muskrats-coypus-and-beavers.htmlSowing coralshttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/press-releases/2018/01/sowing-corals.html
The troubling loss of coral reefs worldwide has prompted scientists and conservationists to assist the reefs’ recovery through active restoration approaches. A new innovation to sow coral larvae onto degraded reefs has the potential for effective large-scale reef restoration and minimise costly and time-consuming approaches. These are the findings of a new study led by an international team of researchers, among others Valérie Chamberland and Mark Vermeij from the UvA’s Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED). The results were recently published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports.Wed, 03 Jan 2018 09:14:00 GMTUvA Persvoorlichtinghttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/press-releases/2018/01/sowing-corals.htmlUnattractive female moths can benefit from proximity to attractive oneshttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/press-releases/2017/12/unattractive-female-moths-use-scent-proximity-to-attract-mates.html
Female moths that are unattractive can increase their chances of attracting a mate by emitting their sex pheromones in close proximity to attractive females, according to research from the University of Amsterdam and North Carolina State University.Fri, 22 Dec 2017 10:59:00 GMTBureau Communicatiehttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/press-releases/2017/12/unattractive-female-moths-use-scent-proximity-to-attract-mates.htmlAstrid Groot, professor of Population and Evolutionary Biologyhttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/uva/en/news/professor-appointments/2017/12/astrid-groot-professor-of-population-and-evolutionary-biology.html

How can we gain a better grasp of the opportunities and threats for the changing seas? In the months ahead, UvA researchers and students will join the national multidisciplinary expedition Netherlands Initiative Changing Oceans (NICO) to better equip the Netherlands in this regard.Tue, 12 Dec 2017 13:08:00 GMTFaculteit Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde en Informaticahttp://ibed.uva.nl/shared/faculteiten/en/faculteit-der-natuurwetenschappen-wiskunde-en-informatica/news/2017/12/nico-ocean-expedition.html
